More quotes by John Locke
Who hath a prospect of the different state of perfect happiness or misery that attends all men after this life, depending on their behavior, the measures of good and evil that govern his choice are mightily changed.
John Locke
Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.
John Locke
Not time is the measure of movement but: ...each constant periodic appearance of ideas.
John Locke
Fashion for the most part is nothing but the ostentation of riches.
John Locke
If the innocent honest Man must quietly quit all he has for Peace sake, to him who will lay violent hands upon it, I desire it may be considered what kind of Peace there will be in the World, which consists only in Violence and Rapine and which is to be maintained only for the benefit of Robbers and Oppressors.
John Locke
He that would seriously set upon the search of truth, ought in the first place to prepare his mind with a love of it. For he that loves it not, will not take much pains to get it nor be much concerned when he misses it.
John Locke
He that will make good use of any part of his life must allow a large part of it to recreation.
John Locke
Crooked things may be as stiff and unflexible as streight: and Men may be as positive and peremptory in Error as in Truth.
John Locke
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.
John Locke
Understanding like the eye whilst it makes us see and perceive all things, takes no notice of itself and it requires art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own subject.
John Locke
There cannot any one moral rule be proposed whereof a man may not justly demand a reason. Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The people cannot delegate to government the power to do anything which would be unlawful for them to do themselves.
John Locke
Habits wear more constantly and with greatest force than reason, which, when we have most need of it, is seldom fairly consulted, and more rarely obeyed
John Locke
We are born with faculties and powers capable almost of anything, such at least as would carry us farther than can easily be imagined: but it is only the exercise of those powers, which gives us ability and skill in any thing, and leads us towards perfection.
John Locke
The reservedness and distance that fathers keep, often deprive their sons of that refuge which would be of more advantage to them than an hundred rebukes or chidings.
John Locke
The power of the legislative being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.
John Locke
All wealth is the product of labor.
John Locke
Certain subjects yield a general power that may be applied in any direction and should be studied by all.
John Locke
We should have a great fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves.
John Locke
Consciousness is the perception of what passes in man's own mind.
John Locke
Neither the inveterateness of the mischief, nor the prevalency of the fashion, shall be any excuse for those who will not take care about the meaning of their own words, and will not suffer the insignificancy of their expressions to be inquired into.
John Locke
